     It started at a Ball Game
     -------------------------
     My first wife's name was FAWN "bambi" ENGELMANN.
     Her relatives nicknamed her bambi as a child.
     I met my 1st wife at Avco Everett Research Labs.
     Our 1st date was a trip to a Red Sox game in Fenway Park.
     Before I married her a curious thing happened...
     A consultant of Japanese ancestry warned me NOT to marry her.
     My reply to him was:
     "Are your ancestors from Hokkaido?"
     He then looked at me quizzically & smiled.

     My EX-wife's mother, whom I shall nickname "Thumper", made
     a sexually suggestive contact with me once at
     a party on Cape Cod.  THUMPER left her first husband,
     my EX-wife's father, for another man.  What's interesting is that
     THUMPER left her first husband AFTER he left the military.
     The new man THUMPER ran off with was in the service.  I'm
     sure she had some reason for marrying men in the military.

     Before I married my 1st wife she had gotten involved
     in Japanese Chanting.  It bothered me but I did not say
     anything because she had a problem coping with stress
     from work and chanting appeared to relax her. Fine with me.
     But when she tried to get me to also go to her Chanting
     Meetings I BLEW UP.  I pointed out that it was okay
     for her but not for me.  It is from this point onward
     that we grew apart.  This was before we were married.
     She became involved in this when she supposedly worked
     at a company (that no longer exists) named Z-tel.
     This company was located in Andover, MA.

     Before my EX-wife would marry me I had to promise that I
     would get a Master's Degree.  I did contact a school
     about applying for a Master's Degree but I did not
     follow through.  I was not impressed with the education
     I had received in my field (Electrical Engineering)
     as an Undergraduate.  I did not have one good
     teacher in my major.  The best teachers I had were in other fields.
     I saw no school (that I could get into) that looked like
     it would provide me with the skills I needed.

     After Z-tel my EX-wife moved on.  Eventually she landed at
     Valid Logic where she learned to use specialized workstations.
     Their workstations are used for entering ciruit designs for
     creating hardware ciruitboards.  But also, more importantly,
     for creating VLSI chip designs.  VLSI stands for Very Large Scale
     Integration.  It basically means a chip that contains very
     sophisticated and complex circuit designs.  The interesting thing
     about Valid Logic was that the building that they were in was
     close to Hanscom Air Force base in Bedford, MA.
     Valid also just happened to be in a building that had
     a cafeteria chef that had been employed at the Ritz.

     Eventually she left Valid Logic and went to work at
     the Raytheon Missile plant in Tewksbury, MA.
     I believe she had a job doing circuit data entry for
     VLSI designs for U.S. Missile systems.  She never
     discussed what she worked on nor did she bring home
     any work from Raytheon.  She used to bring home
     data books or papers when she worked at all the
     companies prior to Raytheon.

     My EX-wife didn't like to keep an address book.
     So I kept one.    What's VERY FUNNY is that the
     address book I bought locally was MADE in JAPAN.
     Makes sense.  Why make an inexpensive product locally
     when you can ship wood to Japan by sea, Japan then
     manufactures things out of the wood, and then ships the wood
     back to us again by boat or plane as tiny (easily made)
     address books or whatever.  Why not design & make
     the address book at a Georgia Paper Company plant?
     (I chose Georgia only because I've been there,
     I like the people there, and I know there IS a paper company
     there.  This work could easily be done in ALABAMA.
     Another excellent state.  I know a Masters Swimmer from there.)
     ALSO related to this:
     There is an article by a Mr. Jean-Louis Gas‚e
     in the MACWEEK newspaper dated 05.18.92 on
     page 33. Volume 6 Number 20.
     Entitled: STEREOTYPE BELIES JAPANESE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
     Mr. Gas‚e basically perpetuates the illogical myth that it is
     cheaper to ship our ideas and resources to Japan and
     back again then it is to do the work here in the U.S.
     If we must send the work overseas we should do it for
     the benefit of mankind.  We should send it to
     places that both need the work and are willingly to do it.
     A situation where the entire world, and NOT just an island
     in the world, benefits.

     Mr. Gas‚e should call the French Consulate's
     "Au Revoir" hotline for news of jobs in France.
     No descendant of General Lafayette is Mr. Gas‚e.
     Me thinks more likely he's from Marie Antoinette.

     It ended on a July 4th weekend
     ------------------------------
     My EX-wife told me she wanted to move out of our apartment.
     She said that she had had enough of me.  She was going to
     take her electronic component data books and move out.
     She was going to observe me from a distance and if she felt
     that I was again on track she would re-unite with me.
     She had arranged, via a girlfriend, to rent an apartment
     in the Royal Crest apartments in North Andover.  The same
     apartment complex that this girl friend was in.

     When I talked with my EX-wife none of what she said made
     any sense.  She repeated she was ONLY going to take her
     data books and live by herself.

     She did not tell me that she was, in reality, going
     out with another man.  My replacement.
     All of this was happening after she had been working
     just a few short months at the Raytheon Missile plant.
     I did not realize the significance at that time.
     I only saw the trees, and not the FOREST.

     Again, nothing she said made any sense.  Thinking of her
     well-being I suggested that we rent a truck and divide
     up the furniture so that she'd have something.
     What I really did was help her move MOST of our furniture
     up there because I believed that Time would heal all wounds.
     Boy was I wrong.

     Meanwhile her Mother, but NOT her Father,
     quickly flew out from a military
     installation she was at near Chicago.

     When I learned my EX-mother-in-law was flying out I thought it
     would be great for the THREE of us to have a nice meal at a
     nearby restaurant.  Maybe if my EX-wife talked with her mother
     some reasonable ideas would pop up.  So I scouted out North
     Andover for a good restaurant.  SURPRISINGLY I didn't have to
     travel very far.  And here's the key.
     The restaurant was named JASMINE.

     It was the FANCIEST Chinese restaurant I've EVER been in.
     The Chinese waiters were like French waiters and likewise
     the entire restaurant was like a tiny expensive French
     restaurant.  Even the Chef would come out and carve up
     Peking Duck when you ordered it.  And he wore a French
     Chef's hat.  AND you could order French Wine with
     your Chinese food.  How appropriate.
     And it was located nondescriptly in the middle of NOWHERE.
     Just a short jaunt from both my EX-wife's apartment
     and the Raytheon Missile plant she worked at.

     Eventually I did discover that my EX-wife was with another man.
     She also appeared to be under the influence of some kind of
     drug because her whole demeanor was abnormal all the time.
     Luckily I had met a relative of hers who is an intelligent
     lawyer and I suggested to my EX-wife that we arrange for
     a divorce through him.  I knew I could have crucified her
     in the courts but I just wanted OUT of the marriage.
     Her lawyer relative acted as our mediator even though he
     was really ONLY her lawyer.  He was excellent.
     [His name is John Murphy, Esq.; and he works at the
     Centerville Law Office in Hyannis on Cape Cod.]
     I knew she respected her lawyer relative and that she
     would not make the effort to attack me in the courts
     due to this.  The U.S. court system is set up
     so that in a divorce, MEN are the big fiscal losers.
     I'm sure in my divorce case I could have received ALOT of
     money from my EX-wife because of how she broke up
     our marriage but all I wanted was OUT.

     Recently I heard that China & Israel's Secret Service
     (the Moussad) were working together.  The reality is
     that they've been working together for awhile.
     My EX-wife may have had contact to Israel's Moussad
     via the mother of a close College friend of hers.
     Her close friend's parents were also (NOT surprisingly) divorced.
     Her friend's mother lived in Israel.  Her name was Achsa Graicer.
     Contact to her was supposedly at Rivka Ish-Shalom
     Bet-Lechem #6, Ramat-Izhak Israel 52346.
     This Israeli information most likely is bogus.

     Occasionally over the years I received phone calls
     from people looking for my EX-wife.  But they were really
     checking on me.  Once I received a phone call from a woman
     who said she was looking for my EX-wife.
     She performed a cautious mating dance on the phone.
     I asked her out because I was curious as to what
     she was after besides me.
     So sight unseen & with NO information I met this
     phoney woman.  She suggested we meet at the Simon & Garfunkel
     section.  She was indeed strange.  She obviously knew
     alot about me and I nothing about her.  This has been the
     case with all the women I interfaced with after her, too.

			       Chess for Blood
		      -------------------------------------
	    At one time I worked for RCA/Burlington.
	    Eventually I had a Boss there named MIKE KRAYEWSKY.
	    Mr. KRAYEWSKY was the worst manager I ever met bar none.

	    Before I even worked for him I learned that he
	    was proud of the fact that he had laid off an
	    employee who killed himself and his pregnant wife.

	    What I didn't realize at the time was how right
	    he was about being responsible for the destruction
            of this man and thereby his family.
	    For Mr. KRAYEWSKY knew how to turn on
	    an American Business Function that would BLOCK
	    an employee from finding a job in their vocation.

	    Mr. Krayewsky did this to a gentleman who
	    had a pregnant wife who was expecting and
	    who also had a new house (a large debt burden).
	    Mr. Krayewsky, in his infinite wisdom, decided
	    to play god and use this business function
	    to destroy a Family.  I always believed that
	    American business was PRO-Family.  But after
	    this, I am sorry to say, I do not.

	    Eventually I came under Mr. Krayewsky's employ.
	    This was after RCA was taken over by GE.
	    I have NO grievance with GE.

	    GE appeared to me to be phasing out the
	    RCA plant I was in.  And they offered
	    me and everyone else there opportunities.
	    I was just not headed in the same direction as GE.
	    Likewise, 149 other people there also decided the same thing.
	    GE laid all 150 of us EX-RCA employees off.
	    The only problem was I noticed that many of them
	    found jobs fairly quickly... but NOT me.
	    That's because Mr. KRAYEWSKY had flipped the
	    same business switch on me that he had for the
	    fellow who killed himself above.

	    This wasn't obvious at first because it appeared
	    that I ALMOST landed jobs at several times.

	    The most interesting time was when I ALMOST
	    landed a job at the company my EX-wife worked
	    at (even though I did NOT want to work there).

	   SOURCE ENGINEERING
	   ------------------
	   Source Engineering is a large Human Resources firm.
	   I sent their Burlington office my resume.
	   And their Westborough office called me.
	   I decided that they were morons and that
	   I'd use them for practice interviews.

	   They asked me what company I would NEVER work
	   for.  I said Raytheon.  I said this because I hated my EX-wife,
	   but even without her ALL the engineers I had ever met
	   who had worked there HATED that place.
	   I made a commitment to myself as an undergraduate that
	   I would NEVER work at Raytheon.
	   Besides, military work was winding down and
	   commercial work was the future.  So I knew I had
	   to make the change from military to commercial work.
	   So what does SOURCE do but get me an interview with
	   RAYTHEON!!  I basically sat and laughed to myself 
	   throughout the entire interview.  And I fell over 
	   laughing when SOURCE told me that I was the only 
	   candidate who FAILED to land a job with them.  SOURCE
	   tried to get me into RAYTHEON again & again but all
	   I did was sidestep away.  Eventually they passed me
	   over to MICROTEMPS.  I know people say these firms
	   aren't connected but they are.  MICROTEMPS first
	   sent me into PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES in Norwood for
	   a bozo SQA position.  But it was better than nothing
	   and commercial so I tried hard to land it.  The
	   people who interviewed me were nice.  But my
	   past blocked me.  The good thing was that
	   the folks at Phoenix had been excited about me (before
	   my past popped in).  So Microtemps got me an
	   interview for a Contractor SQA position at Polaroid.
	   Trouble with Polaroid was that it wasn't an interview.
	   You had the job.  No one I knew had ever walked into
	   a job there so there was obviously a problem.
	   Polaroid was an interesting place that said it
	   was POOR because it had to protect alot of money tied
	   up protecting itself from the Shamrock Raider group
           in the 1980's.  But the fact was that they paid
	   for the parking places for Contractors
	   as well as for Full-time Employees.
	   Meanwhile a company next door that said it was doing
	   fine required its employees to pay for their parking.
	   Sure sounds like a problem at Polaroid.
	   Eventually I lost the job at Polaroid because
	   I appeared to know something about the software libraries
	   used in development and I exhibited too much curiosity.
	   This isn't the reason that they gave me but it is the
           real one.

	   I was toyed with after Polaroid for a long time
	   and I still haven't landed a job in my field.
	   LUCKILY for me I had friends (I didn't realize I had)
	   on the CHANNEL 1 BBS named TESS & BRIAN.
	   At first I was just a paying customer of theirs.
	   Then as my daytime job dwindled,
	   I became a computer ADDICT.
	   My addiction saved me.

	   TESS's & BRIAN's Channel 1 BBS system was the
	   best and most intelligently run BBS system I had called.
	   They were the first business wizards I had ever come
	   across in the PC world.
	   Eventually I was an unemployed customer
	   of theirs.  They gave me special (limited) access
	   if I uploaded files, so I did.
	   The BBS area they limited me to was perfect for me.
	   I was able to become familiar with several personal
	   computers.  And between accessing their system
	   and reading personal computer news in a variety of
	   medias, I began to notice trends in both personal
	   computer designs and in the personal computer
	   business marketplace.  Over time, because
	   of the kindness of TESS & BRIAN, I was able
	   to pull everything together into what you've been
	   seeing here.    (to be continued...)

	   I could only have done this in these great
	   UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
